it worked

man, we definitely need debug there. There is no way for anyone to figure it out otherwise

#

thanks @queen meteor

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

nice!

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 5:56 PM

#

lol - you are welcome! glad you got it working!

fast vigil Feb 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

well after lot of help 🙂

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

I'm sure it will be a big breaking change for many - that's what I am afraid of... some of them will have no clue how to fix it

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

this is supposed to make stuff easier right?

fast vigil Feb 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

well, it was 😂

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

if you are knowledgeable enough

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

because i've read that janja2 has to_json

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 5:59 PM

#

that is from string to json, not xml to json

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

parse_xml ?

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 6:00 PM

#

if you have json as string, you can convert that string into json object by using that filter. comes in handy when you need to pass json and you only have string at hand

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

In order to make that work, you should place that xml arsaboo had into a string and then go to json?

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

nope - it doesn't work that way. xml is still xml. there is no easy conversion.

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 6:01 PM

#

hmm okay

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 6:02 PM

#

the new PR converts xml elements into json dictionary, but kind of maintains hierarchy, and you need to know how it is formed, so that you can parse effectively

#

what arsaboo did is debug print that json, so that he knows exactly how to parse it

acoustic yarrow Feb 21, 2020, 6:03 PM

#

Yes

#

makes sense 🙂

pliant night Feb 21, 2020, 8:57 PM

@queen meteor Did some more testing on the MQTT. I created a "fake" TestLight and with the same template I was having issues with. And of course it works. The state_topics values are the same of the devices having issues and the TestLight fake device I created. I'm assuming this might be a issue with the device?

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:03 PM

#

possibly - at least that gives you an idea on whats happening with the device

pliant night Feb 21, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

@queen meteor Do you know what group or if you know how to dump a device config that wouldn't exist in the entities since mqtt discovery doesn't appear in there?

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

@pliant night not so sure - what device is it specifically? You can try posting in #hardware-archived

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:29 PM

#

Hey everybody, I'm having a real braindead moment here, trying to do an is_state on the fan_mode from my climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode but after 20 minutes, I'm punting my question to the crowd. I can't figure out how to format it!

#

like... value_template: "{{ is_state('climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode.fan_mode', 'on low') }}"

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:30 PM

#

@quiet niche post your code?

#

ok - are you familiar with template editor?

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:31 PM

#

a bit, yes

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

ok - go in there, clear the text, and paste the following and see what it gives```
{{ states('climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode') }}

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:32 PM

#

Tried that, yes, it's off

#

there's these sub-attributes for that device

#

I want to test one of THOSE

#

I want to test fan_mode

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:33 PM

#

ok - try ```
{{ states.climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode }}

#

that should give you a bit more information

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

ah that barfs up a big string

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:34 PM

#

yup - now, you can access anything and everything you see there using templates.

#

you just need to know which state/attribute you want to access

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

I want to pull out fan_mode - Do I need to parse that string ?

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:35 PM

#

can you paste what you saw in there?

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:36 PM

#

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:37 PM

#

{{ state_attr('climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode', 'fan_mode') }}
``` should give you fan_mode value

quiet niche Feb 21, 2020, 9:38 PM

#

frikkin' syntax, gets me every time

#

thank you

#

ah HAH, OK so this is what got it. {{is_state_attr('climate.radio_thermostat_company_of_america_ct32_thermostat_mode', 'fan_mode', 'Auto Low')}}

#

that attr was critical. Not exactly crystal clear in the docs

#

man, I'd a been hours at that. Thanks again

pliant night Feb 21, 2020, 9:50 PM

#

@queen meteor sigh.... well i'm so glad my month long pain is done... the answer was delete all the MQTT devices using publish of the a blank template code and publish the same template code after the devices were deleted. I guess this process causes HASS to clean up the object instead of doing updates. Thanks again for the help and totally insane

sterile storm Feb 21, 2020, 9:51 PM

#

Just noticed there's a channel specific for templates 😂 So I'm moving my message here

#

Is there a way to get all the events from the calendar in a template? I want to display the events in a more natural language way, for example: Today is John Doe and Mary Smith's birthday

This is the closest I've got

    {% if is_state('calendar.birthdays', 'on') %}
        {{ states.calendar.birthdays.attributes.message }}
    {% endif %}

Which returns only one event, of course. Will print Jane Doe's birthday

I know calendars integration has an endpoint, like https://github.com/ljmerza/calendar-card/blob/master/src/event.tools.js#L107

🤔

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 9:52 PM

#

@sterile storm depends on calendar you use. typically you only see the next event.

sterile storm Feb 21, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

I'm using Google Calendar in this case

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 10:01 PM

#

you only get one event at a time.

#

it is not a limitation on HASS, That's how Google Api works

sterile storm Feb 21, 2020, 10:04 PM

#

But how did they manage this call? http://hassio.local:8123/api/calendars/calendar.birthdays?start=2020-02-21T00:00:00Z&end=2020-02-28T00:00:00Z (From the repo I shared)

queen meteor Feb 21, 2020, 10:14 PM

#

must be a custom card. I don't see more than one entry in the states tab - I have 3 google calendars

proud cradle Feb 22, 2020, 7:52 AM

#

Quick question - what exactly does > and >- mean when calling a template?

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

so, I think I have it correct, if I want the lights to turn off when a door sensor has been closed for 10 minutes AND there is no movement sensed by the motion sensor for 5 minutes this should work right ? 🤔 https://hastebin.com/tuwukijufa.cs

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/scripts/conditions/#state-condition if you wanted to do it the easy way

#

Of course, you need two conditions and two triggers

#

https://hastebin.com/xijukanugu.pl IMO

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

but doesn't that just do the same check twice ? 🤔

#

oh

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

😄

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

I see it now

#

mindblown

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 10:56 AM

#

Yeah, with yours it'll only turn it off if the motion sensor has been off for 5 minutes 10 minutes after the door was closed

#

Which may be valid, but ... 🤷

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

I'm still quite new to conditions

#

I should implement more of them

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 10:57 AM

#

I think I've very few automations without them

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

I moved my whole basement to zigbee2mqtt yesterday

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

wise arrow Feb 22, 2020, 10:58 AM

#

now I just have two rooms left to move yikes

rare panther Feb 22, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

I do conditions a lot. Since I keep most through state change and check on conditions for filters. is it more inefficient in terms of cpu usage? I haven't notice any increase or decrase in CPU while normal usage - sits at 8% throughout

queen meteor Feb 22, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

I only use conditions conditionally

#

@rare panther using conditions will not increase cpu usage. It is a drop in the ocean.what ticks CPU is when you try to process millions/billions of conditions all at once. Let’s just say we will never get there with home assistant. Not even for Tony Stark.

rare panther Feb 22, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

Cool. Thought so. Since i.use lot of templating the conditions help. I could have used multiple triggers, but in some cases i required AND conditions, multiple triggers operate on OR as i understand

arctic sorrel Feb 22, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

Triggers do, yes, but that's why you have conditions 😉

#

I'd also expect that simple conditions will be less intensive than a poorly written template

queen meteor Feb 22, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Yes. Triggers are OR, conditions by default are AND. You can have conditional trigger using templates, conditions in conditions, and conditions in action part of automations.

buoyant pine Feb 22, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

On one condition.

rare panther Feb 22, 2020, 4:02 PM

#

Yep. when I started this Automation stuff, the realization of the power of conditions ushered me the path of right conditions 🙂

#

I am just drunk at this point. Hopefully nothing back home gets awkwardly triggered with my condition 🙂

queen meteor Feb 22, 2020, 6:27 PM

#

No CUI allowed here. (Coding Under Influence) - it only means we have to support more 😛

rugged laurel Feb 22, 2020, 6:29 PM

#

Most I do is CUI 🤔

queen meteor Feb 22, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

No wonder! 😎

queen meteor Feb 22, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

@buoyant pine technically you can have as many conditions as you want in action part of automations. The moment first condition fails, rest is ignored 😊

buoyant pine Feb 22, 2020, 8:06 PM

#

Oh I was just making a dumb joke lol

ionic karma Feb 23, 2020, 11:15 AM

#

I am trying to do something very basic. I have a sensor that has a time (e.g., "07:15") and I want to convert it to a datetime object of that time today.
For example, I tried: {{ strptime("07:15", '%H:%M').timestamp() }}, which returns Unknown error rendering template

#

Or

{% set t_alarm = now().strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + " " + states("sensor.ten_minutes_before_alarm") %}
{% set t_alarm = as_timestamp(t_alarm) | timestamp_local %}
{{ as_timestamp(t_alarm) }}

(where t_alarm is that "07:15" string.)
There as_timestamp(t_alarm) seems 600 seconds off from the actual time for some reason.

Would someone be willing to help me with a template? I am "simply" trying to create a button that will change my theme to a random one of the theme I have. I have this script:

#

    alias: Theme Set2
    sequence:
    - data:
        name: '{{ ["Amoled - MOD", "Amoled - Teal", "Amoled - Blue", "Amoled - Green",
          "Light - Orange", "Light - Green", "Gray & Green", "default"] | random  }}'
      service: frontend.set_theme```

#

But get an error that says Theme {{ ["Amoled - MOD", "Amoled - Teal", "Amoled - Blue", "Amoled - Green", "Light - Orange", "Light - Green", "Gray & Green", "default"] | random }} is not defined.

queen meteor Feb 23, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

@meager orchid use data_template instead of data.

meager orchid Feb 23, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

@queen meteor that worked - but I guess I have another problem (probably more suited for the #frontend-archived folks)...it's only applying the random theme to the cards, rather than the whole UI - any idea why?

#

nm, I had to manually set the theme to backend-selected, and it works perfectly - thanks!

Trying to do a simple new sensor using a template, but it's value is 0. I used another sensor as a starting point (for converting km to miles). Its probably the math piece being in the wrong syntax

#

  - platform: template
    sensors:
      boiler_cost:
        friendly_name: Boiler Cost £/day
        unit_of_measurement: £
        value_template: "{{ states('sensor.boiler_todays_power')|int*0.24 }}"

charred haven Feb 23, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

@charred badge test the template in the template editor...that should help you see what you need to adjust

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 6:56 PM

#

yes i have been playing in there

#

either 0 or red error message 🙂

charred haven Feb 23, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

instead of int maybe try float?

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

i thought i could just multiply my senosr.boiler_todays_power x 0.24 to get the cost

#

e.g 0.66 x 0.24

charred haven Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

yea use float instead of int

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

ah ha! Float perfect

charred haven Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

when you use int 0.66 converts to 0

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

thank you, ah didnt realise that

charred haven Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

because integers are whole numbers only

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 6:58 PM

#

i should have known better

#

I can round it using Round

queen meteor Feb 23, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

You can round anything using a hammer

charred badge Feb 23, 2020, 7:05 PM

#

This seems to do the trick {{ (states('sensor.boiler_todays_power')|float*0.1838)|round(2) }}

Is it possible to use some kind of "entity template"? at the moment I 've 4 devices which three sensors different sensors. I'm getting the data via scrape. Which means that I need 4*3=12 scrape settings in the configuration.yml.
I would like to create a template for the device with 3 sensors and in the configuration.yml just 4 devices with different IP+Names.

Hi all, struggling with something if anyone can help? I am trying to create a template sensor to convert km into miles. I can get the sensor to display but the division doesn't work as intended. The result it gives is km divided by 2 (i.e half) rather than 1.609 as per my code. I just can't see what I cam doing wring here! The sensor code is:
milesleft:
friendly_name: "Range"
unit_of_measurement: 'miles'
value_template: "{{ states('sensor.420d_remaining_range_total')|float/1.609 |round}}"

fast vigil Feb 24, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

round it to 2 decimals.

slender urchin Feb 24, 2020, 2:08 PM

#

so round(2) at teh end?

fast vigil Feb 24, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

yes, that should work. Test in template editor first

Cheers, I shall test it now

Ok that works well apart from the fact I have my miles to about 15dp now BUT it is now the correct figure 🙂 Thanks for the assistance on this

fast vigil Feb 24, 2020, 2:23 PM

round(2) should work in the template sensor. See example https://github.com/arsaboo/homeassistant-config/blob/master/sensor.yaml#L459

slender urchin Feb 24, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

I'll take a look at this this evening, should get back to work now. after my lunchtime tinkering with my setup:) round(1) is giving me 3 dp at the moment but I'm sure I'm not far off now. Thanks for the assitance

buoyant pine Feb 24, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

this:

{{ states('sensor.420d_remaining_range_total')|float/1.609 | round(2) }}
``` will only round the 1.609 to two places. you need to do this:

{{ (states('sensor.420d_remaining_range_total')|float/1.609) | round(2) }}

slender urchin Feb 24, 2020, 2:33 PM

Cheers, staring at too many brackets, that makes total sense now!

Struggling to get a good icon for that template sensor now. I'm doing:milesleft:
friendly_name: "Range"
unit_of_measurement: 'miles'
value_template: "{{ (states('sensor.420d_remaining_range_total')|float/1.609) | round(0) }}"
icon_template: mdi:map-marker-distance

#

I did manage to get a battery icon up at some point but I can't get this one or milometer to work at all. I suspect I am being thoroughly dense again 🙂

fast vigil Feb 24, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

that is not a template. You need to provide an icon_template or use customize to change the icon

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/customizing-devices/

slender urchin Feb 24, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

I tried customize which seemed to work for a while. I see what you mean though I'm using the format from a straight sensor there. It's been a long day! Knew I was being stupid! Cheers and sorry for being so dense

#

Missing the mdi: from customize - doh! Thanks again

Hey all. Is the output on this page something that templates could help extract different values from?

#

https://mdotjboss.state.mi.us/MiDrive/dms/getDMSInfo/2721

#

Like if I just wanted the "EXIT CLOSED TO COUZENS" part?

#

Which is dynamically generated, so if you see this message later, it may be different.

#

Basically I want the part between <div class='dmsMessage'> and the first </div>.

anyone knows if its possible to template the stream_source and still_image_url for cameras. I have two template sensors that "builds" the changing stream url. i want to use them as inputs to a camera.

stream_source: >-
{{ states("sensor.dyn_stream_test") }}
still_image_url: >-
{{ states("sensor.dyn_snap_test") }}

Hi folks, i have a currentcost power meter, and I’m trying to figure out the best way to deal with its output. It emits an xml stanza every 6 seconds with a Watt reading for 3 phases, as well as a temperature value.
I have a tiny shell script reading each stanza, piping it through xml2json, then uses mosquitto_pub to send it to HA on a particular topic.
My question is: what is the best way to represent this in HA? I am currently extracting each phase into a separate entity using templates, but it feels clunky. Ideally, should it not just be a single entity with multiple attributes?

long basalt Feb 27, 2020, 3:42 AM

#

Pretty easy to just do a MQTT sensor and use the json_attributes_topic to feed the attributes?

oak juniper Feb 27, 2020, 3:58 AM

#

I’ve not encountered that before, I’ll have to go google it. Thanks!

long basalt Feb 27, 2020, 4:01 AM

#

You can even auto create the entity from your script. I do the same things with my restic backup scripts

Thanks @buoyant pine
In the past i have used .attributes in the template.
Has something changed?

I have a sensor that returns a filename :
templates ```
{{ states("sensor.chf50_gv_lastfile") }}
Event20200227142438001.Avi

#

What string manipulations are available to help me convert the name into a date & time?

#

In the above example, the date & time would be 2020/02/27 14:24:38

coarse sable Feb 27, 2020, 2:13 PM

#

well... {{ states.sensor.chf50_gv_lastfile.state[5:19] }} returns 20200227144437.
I'm close bois !
But now what... ?

coarse sable Feb 27, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

  strptime(states.sensor.chf50_gv_lastfile.state[5:19], '%Y%m%d%H%M%S') %}

embedded_time = {{ datetime_obj }}
``` returns `2020-02-27 14:44:37`

I'm trying to work out a template and I'm apparently less of a Jinja Ninja than I expected because I'm not finding what I need.

#

Here's the setup:

#

{% set hvacmodes=['auto', 'off', 'cool', 'heat', 'dry', 'fan_only'] %}
{% set hvacmode='cool' %}

#

I want to return the next item in a list, given one of the existing items.

#

So if hvacmode='cool', I want to return heat

#

The list is dynamic, I don't know the contents ahead of time.

#

rubber ducky debug to the resuce!

#

{% for mode in hvacmodes %}{% if mode == hvacmode -%}{{ hvacmodes[loop.index] }}{%- endif %}{% endfor %}

#

just stumbled on this by accident but it works great, jinja lists are zero indexed but loop.index isn't, so it's automatically one greater than the index of the current item being looped over

#

not as smart as i thought, now i need to loop back around to the beginning...

#

{% for mode in state_attr("climate.mqtt_hvac", "hvac_modes") %}{% if mode == states("climate.mqtt_hvac") %}{% if loop.last %}{{ state_attr("climate.mqtt_hvac", "hvac_modes")[0] }}{% else %}{{ state_attr("climate.mqtt_hvac", "hvac_modes")[loop.index] }}{% endif %}{% endif %}{% endfor %}

#

added a check to see if we're on loop.last, if so then go ahead and set the index to 0. now it works!

it was something like {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_alerts.attributes.time | something }}

#

I can't figure out the something lol

#

in the sensor it looks like 'time': 1582876800

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

so you have unix epoch time and you want to convert it to printable time?

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 9:01 PM

is that what that is?

#

lol yes

#

why can't they use normal time

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 9:02 PM

define "normal" time

hmmm looks like I can change the order of the date and time too

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 9:29 PM

you sure can!

#

time seems like a simple thing but it's preposterously complicated. strftime is available and I'd recommend getting familiar with it: https://strftime.org/

you can print out time in all sorts of ways!

@fossil totem will that last one work in a template though?

queen meteor Feb 27, 2020, 10:15 PM

@velvet gate I mentioned earlier. That is a Unix time stamp, and you can convert to date time format easily using strftime

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:15 PM

#

hmmm

#

you mean strptime(string, format)?

#

or this https://strftime.org/

#

lack of examples make this hard for non programmers lol

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

it's actually a python thing, not jina, and can only be used a some special cases (now().strftime('format'))

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:22 PM

#

that how it seemed

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

so that's probably not so helpful to you right this moment 😄

#

sorry bout that

#

timestamp_custom might do it

#

which just implements strftime

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:23 PM

#

yeah I started trying to play with it but I think I have the formatting wrong.

Time: {{ states.sensor.dark_sky_alerts.attributes.time | timestamp_custom(%a, local_time=True) }}

#

trying to add those % deals

#

I'm not totally dumb but it does help to have like 1 example of what things are supposed to look like.

fossil totem Feb 27, 2020, 10:26 PM

#

put double quotes around your %a

#

{{ as_timestamp(states.sun.sun.attributes.next_rising)| timestamp_custom("%a") }}

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:27 PM

#

ahhhh

#

I didn't need the local_time=true

#

haha

#

its working now

#

boom, thank you sir lol

#

I dunno if anyone else does that but I wanted any dark sky alerts to appear as a card on my dashboard and then vanish when there is no alert.

#

using markdown, its ugly, but I haven't bothered to look up how to format stuff yet

queen meteor Feb 27, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

I rarely use the dashboard, if I keep clicking on the dashboard for everything, it is not really an automation.... is it?

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

I just like seeing the weather

#

and I have it show things that are left on, etc.

#

I'm also not the only one who uses it.

queen meteor Feb 27, 2020, 10:38 PM

lol

velvet gate Feb 27, 2020, 10:39 PM

although, all of the automations work fine so its not like lights are ever left on that shouldn't be and stuff.

I want to convert the player list attribute in the new minecraft server component into a comma seperated list of players with the word "and" before the last one, so I can put it through a TTS and it sound right. what's the best way to do that?
When I test {{ state_attr('sensor.minequestria_spigot_server_players_online', 'players_list') }} in template dev panel, it outputs ['MazzoManicotti', 'FocusForte']

@oak summit that example is already there as the default code in the template editor

#

oh I must have overlooked it, I'll have to check that again.

queen meteor Feb 28, 2020, 9:08 PM

I am still totally new to templates, so I'm not sure I would have figured that out on my own 😅

queen meteor Feb 28, 2020, 9:10 PM

best way to learn is to play in the template editor - try ```
{% for state in ['MazzoManicotti', 'FocusForte'] -%}
{%- if loop.first %}The {% elif loop.last %} and the {% else %}, the {% endif -%}
{{ state | lower }}

  {%- if loop.first %}{% elif loop.last %}, and {% else %}, {% endif -%}

not sure that card supports it (I may be wrong), but the custom button card does at least

fiery sentinel Feb 29, 2020, 5:33 PM

#

ok, let me try that one, the regular entity button card does not seem to like it

#

is ok if I paste the 12 lines here? (As in-line code)

#

going for it!

#

entity: binary_sensor.multipurpose_sensor
hold_action:

odd to have installation AFTER configuration

Not really

The configuration aspact of that card is what it "sells"

fiery sentinel Feb 29, 2020, 5:41 PM

sure, but you have to install it first

rugged laurel Feb 29, 2020, 5:41 PM

Not to read about what it does

fiery sentinel Feb 29, 2020, 5:42 PM

most folks will browse for pics/tables etc to "see" what it does/looks like, so they will find that piece (IMO) but documentation should be sequential

I know. It's a problem.

#

I reconfigured, because I want to do an automation that starts when seconds reaches zero.

#

And with the formatting, the sensor kept reporting whatever number weeks there were left, or I suspect whatever the first digit is.

queen meteor Feb 29, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

whats the error?

ancient lynx Feb 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

I can get the first file in just fine. But the second keeps giving an unkown result

queen meteor Feb 29, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

I see. what do you see when you paste this in template editor? {{ state_attr('sensor.next_f1_event', 'seconds_left') }}

ancient lynx Feb 29, 2020, 6:21 PM

#

The correct amount of seconds until the event.

#

Big number at the moment.

#

Logs show TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'NoneType' and 'int'

queen meteor Feb 29, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

ok... try ```
{%- set seconds = state_attr('sensor.next_f1_event', 'seconds_left') | int %}

ancient lynx Feb 29, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

Will that get rid of the digits after the decimal?

#

Which, I suppose doesn't matter, since those are fractions of a second, if I'm thinking of that correctly.

#

Don't need to be that accurate.

queen meteor Feb 29, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

no - that makes sure the seconds are in the numeric format, as you are using that value to multiply for seconds, hours...etc

#

if the value is not numeric, you get the error you shared above

ancient lynx Feb 29, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

Got it. I thought it also brought it to the next whole number as well.

#

That seems to have done it. Thank you again. I will stop futzing with it.

#

Next one I owe you a beer.

queen meteor Feb 29, 2020, 6:26 PM

looking for a little assistance, i am really close to getting my light template working, however color is not working. I posted in the forums and also have a gist to help diagnose. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/advanced-light-template-help/175654 https://gist.github.com/roblandry/0dd1f252cd9d519fb723781562330b28

#

the issue lies somewhere in the way the list is being returned, or maybe double quotes

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 4:16 PM

#

actually im making progress... this is where the error is coming from: Sending {'id': 176, 'type': 'event', 'event': {'event_type': 'call_service', 'data': {'domain': 'zha', 'service': 'issue_zigbee_group_command', 'service_data': {'group': 1, 'cluster_id': 768, 'command': 7, 'args': '"\n \n \n \n \n [30932, 20774, 5]"'}}

#

ok, i am down to this: 'args': '[9305, 10813, 5]'

#

i just need to figure out how to get an actual list instead of a string

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:06 PM

#

can jinja output an actual list, or is it always going to be a string??

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

@hasty acorn lists are tricky in jinja because everything is treated as strings

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

that is what i have been fighting for hours

#

i have it functional as i was unable to create an actual list

#

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/advanced-light-template-help/175654/2

#

seems like overkill

#

the macros are identical, with the exception of one outputs x value, and the other y

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

definitely not the issue with the macros.. It is how the lists are passed to the args.

#

            args:
              - "{{ color_temp }}"
``` is the problem.

#

that color_temp value will be treated as string and not as list

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

nah, thats not whats not working

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

@hasty acorn best I'd suggest is to use python_script or AppDaemon when it comes to this. You have much better control over there than jinja.

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:31 PM

#

its the set_color values

#

yeah, but i was "trying" to get a light template working

#

just to see if it were possible

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 5:32 PM

#

ok... what is the output of "{{ hs_to_xy(h, s, 100, 5) }}"

#

Irrespective, the only way out is using python_script or AD. It will save you a lot of headaches

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:38 PM

#

the more up to date code is in post 2

#

that line was outputting "[#, #, #]"

#

also updated the gist

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 5:44 PM

#

Again, unfortunately it will be treated as string. You could try adding individual list items using - by splitting the three values.

#

Right above - 5

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

are you saying like a ```
{% for v in value %}

{{v}}
{% endfor %}

#

because i was worried it would not be properly indented

#

no dice: 'args': '- 45940- 19594- 5'

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:06 PM

#

Not like that. Using indexing.

#

Give me 5 min.

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

ok

#

  - xy[0]
  - xy[1]
  - xy[2]

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

yup

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:12 PM

#

trying it now

#

no dice, still a string

#

'args': '- 9305\n - 10813\n - 5'

#

im convinced jinja just cannot do it

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

you should be doing something like this: ```yaml
args:

{{ xy[0] }}
{{ xy[1] }}
{{ xy[2] }}

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:16 PM

#

yep

#

well... not quite

#

args: >-
  macro stuff...
    - {{ xy[0] }}
    - {{ xy[1] }}
  end macro
  {{ call macro }}

#

like that

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:19 PM

#

@hasty acorn that would muddy things... best way to do that is get a string from the macro, and parse it explicitly - that way no new lines, no spaces or unwanted white spaces

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:20 PM

#

yeah, i think the way i have it in the post/gist is the only way to make it work with jinja

#

args:
  - >-
    macro stuff...
      {{ xy[0] }}
    end macro
  {{ call macro }}
  - >-
    macro stuff...
      {{ xy[1] }}
    end macro
  {{ call macro }}

#

the crappy thing is all the repeated code

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:22 PM

#

yup - that's unfortunate!

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:23 PM

#

either way, this is all proof of concept really, the zha group commands are still in the works

#

and you have to do a lot of digging to get the correct commands

#

lol

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

does this approach work?: ```yaml
args:
{%- macro x -%}
code here
{%- endmacro -%}

{{ x(...)[0] }}
{{ x(...)[1] }}

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:24 PM

#

i know @jolly garden is working on making it more user friendly

#

hrmm....

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

reduces duplicity, and still be able to return as list

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:25 PM

#

yeah, but im not sure how to do it that way, a macro doesnt return anything... right?

#

so how would you get var[0] and 1?

#

afaik calling a macro just poops out values like a python print

#

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21611988/return-a-dict-object-from-jinja2-macros

#

"No, macros can only return template snippets (in the form of Markup objects), not Python objects like dictionaries."

#

but i do like the thought process...

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

macros can return data...

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:36 PM

#

and, that approach fails in yaml lint... i was thinking if i could place the macro above like that, i could create a if you want x, poop out x, etc

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

ok.. give me 5 min... finisghing up lunch

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:37 PM

#

ok

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

@hasty acorn what I do is have macros return string, and parse to my needs.

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

so 2 questions... how can you have the macro above the list and below the "args:" and it still be valid yaml, second how do you return and parse the string

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

I a trying locally in my template editor... what values do you pass for h and s?

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

360, 100 for red

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

we will get to both of your questions shortly

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

actually any value 0-360, and 0-100

#

but those numbers represent red

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

when I call {{ hs_to_xy(360, 100, 100) }}, it returns 45940

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

for one value it does

#

x[0]

#

and that is a good returned value

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

ok...

#

in your git code, both macros are exactly same... correct?

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 6:48 PM

#

yes, with the exception of the {{ xy[0] }} and {{xy[1]}}

@hasty acorn something like this... https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rsJXyPrxSb/

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 7:00 PM

#

giving it a go now! 🤞

queen meteor Mar 1, 2020, 7:02 PM

#

that code simplifies not having two exact macros in two different places, and still lets you access data the way you want. If that doesn't work, python_script would be the way to go!

hasty acorn Mar 1, 2020, 7:04 PM

#

nope... 'args': '- 45940 - 19594 - 5'

hmm dont think ive seen any examples of event templates for the trigger itself...what I do know is the trigger template allows you to look at event data

queen meteor Mar 2, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

@light flume I haven't tried multiple event triggers - it might require you to pass event_data. If it doesn't, you could try with something like this: ```yaml
trigger:

platform: event
event_type: automatic_update
condition:
condition: or
conditions:
- condition: template
  value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.event_data.type == 'notification:hard_brake' }}"
- condition: template
  value_template: "{{ trigger.event.data.event_data.type == 'notification:speeding' }}"

mighty ledge Mar 3, 2020, 12:09 AM

#

that's a hokey way of doing it

amber musk Mar 3, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

@mighty ledge the best way would be using only Jinja2 but it's good way too IMO

mighty ledge Mar 3, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

well it won't work if you have 2 different users with 2 different themes

amber musk Mar 3, 2020, 12:10 AM

#

users always have backend-selected

#

the server chooses which theme is running

#

if user forces another theme, then this won't work

#

but never happens 🙂

mighty ledge Mar 3, 2020, 12:11 AM

#

yes but every user on every device on every browser has a different theme

amber musk Mar 3, 2020, 12:12 AM

#

they can choose different theme, but if it's on backend-selected, then it's all the same

mighty ledge Mar 3, 2020, 12:13 AM

#

ok, as long as you know that they all cause a set_teme event and 2 different users with different themes will cause that input_text to be out of sync

#

that's all I'm saying. You have 1 event pool going to 1 input_text with multiple users sending events to the single pool

amber musk Mar 3, 2020, 12:15 AM

#

Yes, I know what you mean. But as I said, all users use backed-selected and they don't mess with that. So it's ok in this case

Hello, I am trying to get the location of the calendar's next event

#

I have this right now: {{ state_attr('calendar.christoph', 'location') }}

#

but this template sensor always returns none, even though the next event has a location set

#

the calendar-card shows the events with their location

#

if I check the calendar entity in Dev Tools, I see that it only has the attribute offset_reached: false

#

but how does the calendar-card see the next events' location then?

@inland stag Mine worked here, can you try testing with Developer Tools > Services?

And have you validated that the calendar does in fact have a location attribute? (check it in Developer Tools > States)

Hi guys, is there a template I can use to retrieve the length of time an entity has been at it's current state? My example is a notification sent via the alert integration, every 30 minutes my garage door is open it sends a notification that I'd like to read "The garage door has been open for 'x' minutes" (or convert to hours if the number gets big enough). Thanks in advance guys!

charred haven Mar 4, 2020, 7:32 PM

@still harbor you can use teh last_changed attribute to get a timestamp

still harbor Mar 4, 2020, 7:48 PM

Thanks @charred haven! Is it {{ state_attr('cover.garage_door', 'last_changed') }} ? Because it's returning "none" for me

#

@still harbor try like {{ as_timestamp(states.cover.garage_door.last_changed) }}

Yes! And I can use relative_time as a human readable rounded number, which is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks @charred haven

Is there a way to have regex remove double quotes without YAML freaking out?

#

I have this:
"{{ states('sensor.mi_drive_rest')|regex_replace(find='.*</div>', replace='')|regex_replace(find=',', replace='')|striptags|regex_replace(find='[[\"\]]') }}"

#

Which works perfectly fine in the template editor, but throws a bunch of errors in VSCode and YAMLLint.

#

I get unknown escape sequence on the line above that one, and missed comma flow between collection entries on the line the template is on.

Plus unexpected end of the stream within a double quoted scalar further down the file.

Hey folks, I have an integration which returns a sensor. {{ states.sensor.dackeri.attributes }} in the template editor in developer tools returns a bunch of attributes which is great. One of them is "tier" and its value is "Gold", why might the below yaml for a template not work?

@royal raven To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example:

I have a template sensor that combines two thermometers to get an average. It seems to work fine - except there's something strange with how it reports last_updated / last_changed.
https://imgur.com/a/9RW5WkT shows the temperature was changed 10 minutes ago.

But according to "{{ as_timestamp(strptime(states.sensor.template_temperature_floor_1.last_changed | string | truncate(19,True,'',0),'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S:%f')) | timestamp_custom('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') }}" it was changed "2020-03-05 12:34:01" which is 75 minutes ago.

I get the same result from {{{ states.sensor.template_temperature_floor_1.last_changed }} and {{ states.sensor.template_temperature_floor_1.last_updated }}

Any suggestions why it doesn't update its last_updated attribute?

ancient lynx Mar 5, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

@dreamy sinew ha core check doesn't pass either, tho. So it seems to not just be VSC.

ancient lynx Mar 5, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

So there is no way to match double quotes in regex then.

dreamy sinew Mar 5, 2020, 10:21 PM

Is there any benefit to using states['domain.entity_id'].state over states('domain.entity_id') ? Is it just leftover from old ways of doing things?

#

I've got mostly the latter, but a few of the former for some of my older stuff, and about to go through and standardize.

buoyant pine Mar 6, 2020, 3:16 AM

The second is better. Prevents errors when the entity isn't ready/available

awesome. i read that, but wondered if there was any reason to use the old nowadays. i've been posting the same other places ("don't use that") probably something along the lines of "it'll be deprecated soon™️" 🙂

I've got a 3D printer hooked up into a TP-Link Kasa power switch to monitor power usage. I just called light.turn_off as I was writing an automation for my hue lights. As it turns out it also shut off my printer mid print.

#

Sad panda.

#

How can I tell HA not to treat this device as a light (switch)?

bitter atlas Mar 6, 2020, 4:48 AM

#

@wicked parrot list it as a switch not a light as per the docs https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/tplink/

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

Ah!

#

Thank you.

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 7:31 AM

#

@bitter atlas Related question. I've got a pair of TP-Link Kasa dimmer switches hooked up to fans (basically remotely controller the fan speeds). Is there a way to have those not be related to the grouping of lights?

#

Or anyone?

arctic sorrel Mar 6, 2020, 7:35 AM

#

Don't put them in the group of lights 🤷

bitter atlas Mar 6, 2020, 8:11 AM

#

@wicked parrot not sure it will work putting smart switch hosts under the switch in the config but you could try it.

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

@arctic sorrel Can I remove lights from entity_id: all for light.turn_off?

arctic sorrel Mar 6, 2020, 8:33 AM

#

No, you'd said group... so I assumed you were using groups 🤷

#

The answer there is - don't do that 😛

#

Maybe use areas instead?

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

Ok.

arctic sorrel Mar 6, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

Or create your own group

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 8:34 AM

#

So there isn't a way to tell HA to consider a device something other than what it sees it initially as?

#

And I know about templating, but my understanding is that the original device still exists?

arctic sorrel Mar 6, 2020, 8:36 AM

#

No, you can't pull a Jedi mind trick on HA like that

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 8:37 AM

#

Womp womp.

#

@bitter atlas Telling HA to treat the dimmers as a switch, sadly prevents me from changing the brightness.

#

Just FYI.

bitter atlas Mar 6, 2020, 8:44 AM

#

well obviously

wicked parrot Mar 6, 2020, 9:03 AM

#

@bitter atlas @arctic sorrel Also for future reference, just got this setup... https://community.home-assistant.io/t/switch-everything-off-except-excluded-entities/80343

#

Now I just wish I understood templating enough to get these dimmer switches to also look like fans in HA.

You can just use customizing to change the icon

You've got what are called smart quotes in there (the curly ones) so whatever editor you're using is adding them. Are you using a text editor?

Actually just the file editor addon in hassio. I've copied the format of the template from a snipp of code I got on the forums, so my editor isn't adding them there.

how can you do multiline stuff in jinja? every example i find online has {% %} around every line, but that seems a little rediculous when doing something like this:

    {% for mower in mowers %}
    {%      set gps = state_attr('device_tracker.automower_' + mower,'latitude')|string + "," + state_attr('device_tracker.automower_' + mower,'longitude')|string %}
    {%      set status = state_attr('device_tracker.automower_' + mower,'status')|lower %}
    {%      set label = state_attr('device_tracker.automower_' + mower,'friendly_name')[0]|upper %}
    {%      set color = 'green' %}
    {%      if status in colors %}
    {%        set color = colors[status] %}
    {%      endif %}
    {%      set image_url.value = image_url.value + "&markers=color:" + color + "%7Clabel:" + "" + "%7C" + gps %}
    {% endfor %}

Well, that's right, even if your formatting is odd

merry ravine Mar 7, 2020, 6:41 PM

#

just seems like there should be an easier way of doing that...there's no "output" anywhere in that loop, i'm just preparing a variable for output later

#

and if it's odd...its the first jinja code i've written....I typically deal with c#

arctic sorrel Mar 7, 2020, 6:42 PM

#

In HA the whole point is that you're using Jinja to output text, so 🤷

merry ravine Mar 7, 2020, 6:43 PM

#

i do output text later on..

#

i'm building an image path with dynamic information...

{{ image_url.value }}&center=33.252043,-96.527017

i mean, in the example earlier, I could have just output it directly there ...but it still doesn't change the fact that i had 7 lines of code above it calculating what I was going to output

arctic sorrel Mar 7, 2020, 6:44 PM

#

🤷 That's the way it is

merry ravine Mar 7, 2020, 6:45 PM

#

k, then i'm not going to f with templates for my other issue, i'll just code an appdaemon app....more simple I think

queen meteor Mar 7, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

@merry ravine you are setting a value in a loop. Loops won’t maintain state. You need to use namespaces.

merry ravine Mar 7, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

@queen meteor i'm not having a problem with it..the code i linked was for example only, it works just fine

Hi guys I'm trying to create a binary sensor that evaluates as true when the following is true... A cover is open, a binary sensor has not changed for 30 seconds, and three separate binary sensors have not changed to on for two minutes... Hope you guys can help, thanks!

queen meteor Mar 7, 2020, 11:29 PM

#

@still harbor you need to investigate into template sensor.

still harbor Mar 7, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

@queen meteor yea I've got tons of them but this one is beyond me. Mostly due to having two device types and also not knowing how to write "hasn't changed states for x time or hasn't changed to a specific state for x time"

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:07 AM

#

{{ not (is_state("person.me","Home") and is_state("person.wife","Home")) }} is not working and I feel like I am fatally misunderstanding the templating syntax

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

are you aware of template editor?

#

are you using the UI to write this code or manually editing yaml code?

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:08 AM

#

Yes, but it's hard to use on mobile

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

painful on mobiles for sure... I wouldn't do it on mobiles

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Both, through the automation syntax

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

ok - what does the template editor give for the code above?

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:09 AM

#

Let me try to copy/paste into it

#

Alright, fine, I'll pull out the dang laptop

#

Hrm

#

so {{ is_state("person.me","Home") and is_state("person.wife","Home") }} is showing as False even though we are both home...

#

I think it's actually working mostly correctly and I just have a typo

#

Dang it

#

turns out it was home not Home

#

Whelp, thanks for the help ayway @queen meteor, you did end up getting me there!

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

@agile spear did you figure out with checking time thingy?

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

time thingy?

#

It was a zone state, not time that I was dealing with 🙂

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:24 AM

#

" A cover is open, a binary sensor has not changed for 30 seconds, and three separate binary sensors have not changed to on for two minutes... Hope you guys can help, thanks!"

#

☝️ that's the one I'm talking about

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

Ah, that was @still harbor, not me! lol

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

@agile spear sorry! got confused. You both have red and black icons, didn't pay much attention 😂

#

@still harbor you can do something like ```
{{ (now() - states.switch.kitchen.last_updated).total_seconds() > 60 }}

agile spear Mar 8, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

Hahaha not a problem! I figured that might be it

still harbor Mar 8, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

lol wow! So easy! What about determining if a sensor has been changed to a specific state for a certain amount of time?

Hi, im trying to make an automation with template but seems to making something wrong with my template :P

Basically i need to trigger a message when im pressing and receiving the message (11:19:31 MQT: sonoff_bridge/stat/RESULT = {"RfKey16":"Default sent"}) on my sonoff bridge.

#

Here is my automation:

#

alias: test
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: mqtt
  topic: sonoff_bridge/stat/RESULT
  condition:

  service: telegram_bot.send_message

I want to run a scheduled MQTT script to 5 different hosts. Can I pass a variable to the script?

Like
script.mqtt_refresh_lovelace wallpanel1
script.mqtt_refresh_lovelace wallpanel2

or create a loop that matches a entity wildcard?
..or something else that avoids creating unique scripts for each device

hi i have this output and i want to parse it with json.

15:41:25 MQT: sonoff_bridge/stat/RESULT = {"RfKey16":"Default sent"}

#

i tried value_json[0] == '"RfKey16":"Default sent"'

#

but seems to not working

#

not very familiar with json anyway 😛

#

NOTE: the output its not like the
RfReceived":{"Sync":9550,"Low":320,"High":980,"Data":"68DA27","RfKey":"None"}}

#

that i can use value_json.RfReceived.Data == '68DA27'

@lapis shuttle what value are you trying to access?

lapis shuttle Mar 8, 2020, 4:30 PM

@queen meteor the RfKey16 for example

@lapis shuttle To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks. Here's an example:

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 4:36 PM

@lapis shuttle if the message in the topic 'sonoff_bridge/stat/RESULT' is json, you should be comparing with json string.

lapis shuttle Mar 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

@queen meteor the output is
15:41:25 MQT: sonoff_bridge/stat/RESULT = {"RfKey16":"Default sent"}

queen meteor Mar 8, 2020, 4:37 PM

#

then try value_json |string == '{"RfKey16":"Default sent"}'

#

instead of value_json == '"RfKey16":"Default sent"'

#

Or simply do this ```
{% if "16" in value_json |string %}

#

@lapis shuttle try the last option - much simpler and easier

lapis shuttle Mar 8, 2020, 4:46 PM

#

@queen meteor the if 16 worked! thanks for your help (im not a json guy indeed :P)

Is it possible to store a variable on a Person? Looks like you can set name, device_trackers, image, and link an optional user.

The goal is to do something like this:

Parent 1: bedtime == 10 PM
Child 1: bedtiime == 8 PM

Create an automation which checks every Person's bedtime, then executes a Scene (say turn lights off)

try to slowly build it out starting with dispalying the state then converting to int etc...

#

ok - I've been toying with it for over an hour. I can get both these number to display as seen above....

#

I try {{(states('sensor.ro_system_1_liters')| int * 0.2641720524| round(2)) + 1}} and that works

but when i do:
{{(states('sensor.ro_system_1_liters')| int * 0.2641720524| round(2)) + states('sensor.muh_meter_daily_water') }}

#

I get unknwon template error

charred haven Mar 9, 2020, 5:49 PM

you need to convert the second one to int as well

Anyway to understand why this isn't evaluating as true?

Trying to follow the automation example in which lights are turn off a specific time (by way of input_datetime.household_bedtime) outlined here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/input_datetime/

Here's the template:
{{ states('sensor.time') == (state_attr('input_datetime.household_bedtime', 'timestamp') | int | timestamp_custom('%H:%M', True)) }}

#

sensor.time is returning in %H:%S, and I'm formatting input_datetime.household_bedtime to the same...

queen meteor Mar 9, 2020, 8:34 PM

#

Have you tried in the template editor?

#

You can test individual pieces of code - easy way to debug

proud cradle Mar 9, 2020, 9:39 PM

#

  action:
    - service: input_boolean.toggle
      data:
        entity_id: input_boolean.wakeup_active
    - service: script.sonos_say
      data_template:
        where: bedroom
        volume: 0.06
        message: 'Wakeup clock {{ states("input_boolean.wakeup_active") }}.'

This toggles the input_boolean but the template always returns ON, if I run the same template manually both on and off is returned accordingly.
What's wrong?

@jaunty citrus use a template sensor with value states.binary_sensor.ikea_motion.last_updated or last_changed

@jaunty harbor does this work even if neither "last_updated" nor "last_changed" appear as attribute in the "States" list?

map(attribute='name')|list|join(', ') instead of the count in my example

Or join(', ',attribute='name') instead of count, 10 characters less (and only a single filter).

#

How can I actually know which attribute it is? I was going with friendly_name but that's undefined

rugged laurel Mar 11, 2020, 7:35 AM

https://www.vg.no/spesial/2020/corona-viruset/data/norway-table-overview/?region=municipality

that page

#

@arctic sorrel in #integrations-archived suggested to import the totals into a state and the rest as attributes, but i don't know how to do that yet

#

i am using the sensor platform rest

jaunty citrus Mar 11, 2020, 11:01 AM

#

@long basalt in case you're interested... I ended up accessing the "states" table in the HA database by the "sql" sensor platform. This allows mor eprecise and flexible selection, and does not require any additional data to be stored.

long basalt Mar 11, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Nice @jaunty citrus -- You are doing that all with the native automation engine? Or triggering your SQL script another method? I use Node-RED and I'm in the process of moving my sensors that I want the data/time to persist past HA restart into the native NR sensor -- It also has a built in history function to access past states

jaunty citrus Mar 11, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Nah, I just needed a sensor showing when the last - real - motion was triggered on that sensor. So a "select max(created) from states where entity_id ='xxx' and state = 'on'" gives me exactly the data I need.

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

i want to get values through the template sensor platform.. but some of the values are not available yet, meaning it should be "unavailable".. is it possible to set these values to 0?

#

but i still get unavailable out

@dreamy sinew is this inside the template sensor?

hm.. now i got "Unknown" instead of "Unavailable"

lusty forge Mar 11, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

Something like {{ states('sensor.whatever') if states('sensor.whatever')|str()!="unavailable" else 0}} ?

#

It may need extra parenthesis

#

Also, I'm sure it was answered a lot but, what would be the simplest way to get the result of a service call from a template ? Do I need to do a dummy sensor for that ?

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

{% set value = states('sensor.whatever') %}
{{ value if str(value) != "unavailable" else 0 }}

will that work?

lusty forge Mar 11, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

That's the spirit

dreamy sinew Mar 11, 2020, 3:11 PM

#

you don't need to str(value) its already a str

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

then why isn't it working?

#

i'm getting unknown instead of 0

lusty forge Mar 11, 2020, 3:12 PM

#

I didn't know that one

#

What's the value of {{ value != "unavailable" }} ?

#

Maybe a case issue ?

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 3:13 PM

#

Error rendering template: UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'Test'

dreamy sinew Mar 11, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

ah, because states() is returning unknown

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

that's what i'm getting when i'm running this in the template editor

dreamy sinew Mar 11, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

{{ value|float|round if value not in ['unknown', 'unavailable'] else 0 }}```

#

you can test all of this in the template tester

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

i want to accumulate together a bunch of template sensors.. can this be done?

#

accumulate meaning that i want to add up all the ints from the individual (template) sensors into one common group sensor

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 6:26 PM

#

With another template sensor, sure

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 6:46 PM

#

how would that look?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 6:52 PM

#

{{ states('sensor.first')|int + states('sensor.second')|int + ... }}

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 6:53 PM

#

is it possible with some kind of autosum against a group?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 6:54 PM

#

Not that I know of, but others may have a way

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 7:14 PM

#

what is the difference between {{ and {% ?

queen meteor Mar 11, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

First one for condition/expression evaluation and the other for everything else.

ebon yoke Mar 11, 2020, 7:17 PM

#

ok

#

and how do i create multi-line template sensors?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:23 PM

#

https://yaml-multiline.info/

#

There's an example right at the top of https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/templating/

Hey guys, I'm trying to update one of my template sensors whenever one of my media_players changes.. This is what I came up with:

entity_id: >
        [{{ states.media_player|map(attribute='entity_id')|join(',') }}]

Unfortunately it doesn't work and I cannot understand why, in the Dev Tools -> Template it looks fine

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

The template sensor will only update when one of the listed entities updates

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template#entity_id

#

HA will try to identify and extract the relevant entities, but in your case it has nothing to work with, so you have to tell it

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Currently I don't have any entity_id set which makes it not update. I'm trying to generate a list automatically.. Is that possible or do I have to write them all manually?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Not possible there, that won't accept a template

#

If you look at the link, you'll see it takes (string | list)

#

Not (template)

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

The full sensor is like this:

media_players_active:
      entity_id: >
        [{{ states.media_player|map(attribute='entity_id')|join(',') }}]
      value_template: '{{ (states.media_player|selectattr("state", "eq", "playing")|list|length + states.media_player|selectattr("state", "eq", "paused")|list|length) > 0 }}'

#

Do I have to use entity_id or should it automatically detect it?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

It can't detect it, because you don't have any actual entities listed

#

So yes, if you want it to update you have two choices:

Force update from an automation - brute force, but it'll work
List the entities - efficient, but takes you a moment or two to list them

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

Ah okay, it doesn't detect the ones from the template?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

There's no entities in the template

#

      value_template: '{{ (states.media_player|selectattr("state", "eq", "playing")|list|length + states.media_player|selectattr("state", "eq", "paused")|list|length) > 0 }}'
``` Please point out any entity ID in that string 😉

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

Damn I thought totally wrong.. Sorry 😅

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:46 PM

#

No worries

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:47 PM

#

But there's no way to just say
entity_id: (list of all media_player entities), like a domain?

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:48 PM

#

No

#

You can put your template in the Templates screen to get the list out, but that's it

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:50 PM

#

I thought it works in the template so it should interpret the template.. Guess I'll have to list them manually :/ Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me out, now I understand why it didn't work

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

As I said, look at the link I posted - it tells you what works there, and it doesn't say template 😉

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:51 PM

#

I read that, I thought.. "Well, the template puts out a list, so..." 😂

arctic sorrel Mar 11, 2020, 7:53 PM

#

So close... 😄

rancid elm Mar 11, 2020, 7:57 PM

#

Just listed them all and.. IT WORKS! Thanks a lot @arctic sorrel

thick cipher Mar 11, 2020, 8:28 PM

hi guys, how i can get this value on template.
[{'name': 'hacs/integration', 'display_name': 'HACS (Home Assistant Community Store)', 'installed version': '0.20.9', 'available version': '0.23.2'}]
i want to get HACS
I stopped here: {{states.sensor.hacs.attributes.repositories
i tried {{states.sensor.hacs.attributes.repositories.display_name}} but no sucess

rugged laurel Mar 11, 2020, 9:54 PM

#

Have a look here @thick cipher https://hacs.xyz/docs/basic/automation#updates-pending

queen meteor Mar 11, 2020, 11:32 PM

#

@thick cipher 👋 long time no see!

merry ravine Mar 12, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

whats the easiest way to compare the current time to a preset time of day? for example, I want to check if the current time is earlier than say 11pm of that day

#

now().hour < 23 ?

dreamy sinew Mar 12, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

that would work

nocturne kiln Mar 12, 2020, 8:25 AM

#

I have a speedtest running on a machine that report the measurements to hass through the web-api to sensors. The sensors dont exist upon startup of hass so when I reboot I got "sensor.download dont exist" in the GUI, so I created a template-sensor with a value_template of a constant (500). Is there a way that instead read out from the history and take the last measurement the sensor had before reboot?

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 9:18 AM

#

@pseudo musk 🙂 Here I am 😉

#

sry... didn't know which one would be the best.

#

Just one more thing.. how do I get the 2h20 from my json to here: {% set hours = "2h20".split("h")[0] %}.
So atm it is just '{{ value_json.ProgramEnd.End}}' ... so I think it should be something like {% set hours = value_json.ProgramEnd.End.split("h")[0] %} but I think this is wrong 😦 Because .split is not part of the json string.

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 9:21 AM

#

if value_json.ProgramEnd.End has the "2h20" like value in it, then yeah that should work

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 9:23 AM

#

value_template: '{{ value_json.ProgramEnd.End}}' this results in 2h20 (or whatever time it is at the moment).

So I think I've to use some kind of brackets?

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 9:26 AM

#

here, try this, slightly cleaner

value_template: >-
  {% set hours, mins = value_json.ProgramEnd.End.split("h") %}
  {% set totalseconds = (hours | int*60*60) + (mins|int*60) %}
  {{ totalseconds }}

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 9:27 AM

#

Error rendering template: UndefinedError: 'value_json' is undefined

#

lol

#

I'm idiot

#

give me a second

#

it works!!!!

#

😄

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

can skip a line like this shrug ```
value_template: >-
{% set hours, mins = value_json.ProgramEnd.End.split("h") %}
{{ (hours | int6060) + (mins|int*60) }}

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

this works too.

#

Now I just need to look how I will display the entity... because seconds are not so nice ^^

#

Is there a nice way to show a time entity on lovelace?

charred dagger Mar 12, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

Time as in timer?

#

Never mind me. I can't raise my eyes more than a single line of text.

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

this will give you the end time
{{ (now() | as_timestamp() + ((hours | int*60*60) + (mins|int*60))) | timestamp_local }}

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 9:57 AM

#

@pseudo musk where can I put that line?

#

as i understand I can put this in just as the last line? 🙂

#

do you have an idea too for that... If the machine isn't running .. the reqeust is empty value_json.ProgramEnd.End. = Unknown
Is there a way to just use another Word/string if this happen?

barren cipher Mar 12, 2020, 10:13 AM

#

Is there a way to build a binary template sensor around events?

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 10:32 AM

#

@pseudo musk got it... with device_class: timestamp on restful sensor.
Not just to find out how to filter if device is not running 😛

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 11:38 AM

#

@final mulch use an if in the value_template

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

yes... I just didn't get how ^^^
But acutally I'm facing another issue -.-

#

@pseudo musk timestamp isn't displayed propper on iOS App 😦

#

i have to use timestamp_custom now it shows the time but wrong -.- (it shows utc instead of utc+01:00)

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

add , local_time=True) to your timestamp_custom call

#

I mean, it should be doing that already, but idk

final mulch Mar 12, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

i already tried... but this doesn't help

#

the strange thing is that it does work on Chrome@Win10 but not on iOS

pseudo musk Mar 12, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

might be something weird with the ios app, could try #ios_and_mac-archived 🙂
